How I work

Software for the bottleneck that matters.

Most of my work starts with a team that keeps hitting the same friction. I help find where it really comes from, ship a focused first release, and keep the live system healthy. The work is custom when it needs to be, and deliberately small when it should be.

The goal is useful change without a large platform or process.

Three ways to work together

Pick the one that matches where the problem is today. Each starts with the same question: what is actually getting in the way?

Workflow or product diagnostic

Best when a team sees the same friction repeatedly and needs help deciding what to change.

What you get

  • A plain-language read on the workflow, failure points, and constraints
  • A recommendation on what should be built, fixed, integrated, or left alone
  • A focused path into a first release when custom software makes sense

How it goes

  1. Review the current workflow, tools, handoffs, and operator pain
  2. Clarify the decision that matters most right now
  3. Turn the findings into a practical next-step recommendation

Scoped first release

Best when the problem is understood well enough to define and build a focused first version.

What you get

  • A concrete first release aligned to the workflow that actually needs to change
  • Visible progress in working software, with enough documentation to support it
  • Launch-ready implementation with the next risks and follow-on scope made explicit

How it goes

  1. Reduce the opportunity to the smallest release that creates useful change
  2. Build in the open so feedback lands before assumptions harden
  3. Launch with a clear handoff and a practical map for what comes next

Ongoing product or operational support

Best when a system already exists and needs steady improvement, sharper operations, or a trusted technical partner who can keep shipping.

What you get

  • Prioritized fixes, workflow improvements, and feature follow-through
  • Operational support for content, analytics, integrations, and internal tooling
  • A running view of what is changing, why it matters, and what should wait

How it goes

  1. Start from the current product, backlog, or operational pressure points
  2. Tighten the highest-value bottlenecks first
  3. Keep the work legible so support never turns into vague retainer drift

Read the writing

A visible process beats vague progress

Whichever way we work, the work moves through the same three steps.

  1. Start with the current workflow

    Who does the work, what tools exist today, and where the handoff breaks down come before solutioning.

  2. Shrink the problem to a useful move

    The goal is a decision the team can act on and a scope that is small enough to move.

  3. Ship with visibility

    The work stays legible as it moves: what changed, what is next, and what should not be built yet.

Before you reach out

The questions people ask most before sending a note.
What kind of work is a strong fit?

A good fit is a recurring workflow, product, or operational bottleneck that affects the people using it. Sometimes the right recommendation is to keep or better configure an existing tool.

Do I need a full specification before reaching out?

No. A useful starting point is the workflow, the people involved, and what keeps breaking. Discovery exists to clarify the rest.

Can you work with the tools we already use?

Usually. Part of the job is deciding whether to integrate with the current stack, replace a brittle piece, or leave a tool alone and work around it.

What happens after a release ships?

That depends on the engagement. Some teams want a clean handoff. Others need ongoing operational or product support. The path should be explicit before that decision matters.

Start with the bottleneck.

Not the perfect brief. I take on a small amount of consulting outside my role at Treeline. If a workflow, product handoff, or operational gap keeps costing attention, send the current situation and I'll tell you directly whether I can help.
